Yes. Yes, this child is my brother. He is the best kid EVER!

Yes, this is my husband. Would you guess he is in training to be an engineer???

Trevor took this tower VERY seriously. 

Again, this girl cracks me up. I'm her favorite. :)

Christmas Puzzle!

This Christmas we did something a little different. Dad went to the store and bought a 2,000 piece puzzle. The last puzzle they had was of Vegas, and that's what they did. It took about 3 days for it to be completed, but many great memories were made. Everybody was able to to participate, even the kids got involved. It encouraged teamwork, not competition. :) I think some family relationships were strengthened and even developed over the puzzle. Enjoy the pics! 

Funny thing is, is this is how Dad usually looks in pictures. HAHAHA

Taylor and Summer.

See! So many people helped! 

The kids really enjoyed helping. 

Ya! 

Skyler wasn't interested, so he gamed. Sawyer would help on the puzzle for a minute, then go game, then go back to the puzzle. hahaha. 

Trevor shows off his ruggedly good looks.

The puzzle started at our house, then moved to Grandma's where it was finished! 

The finished puzzle! Everyone was quite proud!

Christmas Eve Spaghetti!

Christmas eve was super fun! It was so amazing to have the WHOLE family there! The Draney's were up, and the Hunsaker's had come out. We had so many kids running around. We made some sweet memories. We had awesome Christmas spaghetti, (which had so many kinds of meat in it :) It was just so neat to be together as a family and celebrate Christ's birth.

Christmas Soccer and Four wheeler Rides!

So, in Idaho (At least Burley), it's always a brown Christmas. Whenever we get snow, it blows away. So instead of building snowmen, or sledding. We play Christmas soccer. :) Grandma also got her four wheelers out and gave kids rides!

LOVE THESE GIRLS! 

Dylan has serious soccer skills!

Lights at Temple Square!

Our first day of our 2 week Christmas vacation, Trevor and I made our way up to Hollie's house in Layton. Rob and Lyndsay and their kids had flown in and we were able to see them which was AWESOME! That night, we went to go see the lights on Temple Square. It was really cold, but way fun. We also went to see the Christus. Here are a few pictures. :)
